The most recent edition of Discover has an article on quantum encryption using single photons.
Basically they shoot a laser through a heavy filter, emitting only one photon. The Sender and Receiver exchange pads including what group of spins(Horizontal/Vertical, or the diag's) on each photon contains information. An Evesdropper has a 50% chance of guessing which one, and retransmiting that. The article state that on average 25% of the photons would be incorrect if your conversation was being intercepted due to wrong guesses by the snooper. Pretty Neat - but they say it'll be at least 10 years for something that consumers can plug into a wall...
Like many questions, they were trying to show you the improvements over NT. If I remember correctly, NT had a fixed number of users that could be created in a domain - so they actually said to disable and rename accounts for new users.
I think it is entirely circumstantial though - one situation should call for one method, another situation will need another...
But hey - learn the microsoft way and get your wallet card!
While it is true, one may assume the original poster was posting American style due to the 9/11/2001 date of the Twin Tower collapse, which is correct. On that basis, his date of 9/11/89 would be Sept. 11, 1989, not Nov. 9, 1989.
Unless of course he was trying to be less US-Centric half way through the post..

Winner of Auction sends money to Auction House, which holds said money. The Auction House notifies the Seller that payment has been received. The Seller then Ships the item using a certified carrier(UPS, FEDEX, etc.), and requires a signature. When Item is received, Auction house contacts buyer to confirm receipt, and then transfers money to Seller.
That should solve most problems, but I'm sure there would be holes - please point them out!
Reminds me of the "Jeffrey's" Sketch with P. Brosnan - Will Farrel whips out his email pager -
He wears it on his finger, and it is the size of a matchbox. To read it he needs to put on magnifiying glasses and move the screen from side to side.
As some people have already pointed out, they are makint telescopes that not only are better than hubble, but one that uses to mirrors (like binoculars) to create an intereference pattern with the observered star's light, causing it to "dim" to the point where you can see its planets.
There is one currently in the works that will use an array (4,6?) in orbit to do the same thing.
Discovery Science had a program with Jonathan Frakes narrating the other night on this. They also cover the Jupiter/Protector theory.
Granted, but as a chronic kidney stone former, I prefer bottled or filtered water to the tap - I live in a so-called Kidney Stone belt due to levels of minerals and such in our drinking water...
However I agree that Bob Evian is making a killing from the tap in his "Mountain" basement.
For someone who is "Hypersensitive" wouldn't this be harmful?

While everyone is pointing out the savings - make sure the money you save on free licenses isn't lost in the transition cost. This includes installation and retraining of users. Also may require hiring a new (possibly expensive) *nix admin if you are replacing Microsoft products.
Just because it is free doesn't mean it doesn't cost anything to use!
Troll Huh? Looks like some people missed out on their history lessons:
History of Colonial Georgia. Also, linking Georgia together with Australia comes the quote:
"After the American Revolution prevented further transportation of convicts to Georgia, the British Parliament authorized removal of the criminal underclasses to the remote colony of New South Wales. A Second penal colony was soon required to accommodate the increasing convict population, and in 1803 Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) was established for that purpose. This distant island soon became the primary Australian penal colony."
I would think that the greatest hinderance to the moon power would be the rotation of the moon. If we were doing direct transmissions, for some part of the day, the moon would be over some place outside of US Jurisdiction. Therefore the Gov't is out (major trillion dollar player). Multi-national business -not gonna happen. Only one company controlling all of the power? BZZZZZZT. don't think so.
Probable solution?
Geosynchronous satellites that the moon "laser" beams energy too. These satellites relay the beam to the appropriate collector satellites, who then beam the energy to earth.
Advantages:
a) Multiple companies can be involved - pay Gov't royalty fees for moon power. Individual corps own each satellite network.
b) redundancy - with multiple companies, if one fails, loses satellites, yadda yadda - we have more backing it up
c)consistant "no fly zones" - Tell people you can't go here or they become tasty dinner treats.

Actually they did - if you had continued reading the article:
"In 1997, 94 leftover N1 engines were sold to the American company Kistler for refurbishment and incorporation into a new rocket."

The used Australia because they ran out of room in Georgia.

Ah, but then you forget the stretch from Denver to LA - one spot in Utah or nevada (if forget) there is one (1) radio station. AM. Country Gospel.
